How does wearing DryNites® help?
While there isn't an instant cure for bedwetting, DryNites® does have an immediate impact on the situation. By protecting against leaks, they help children stop worrying about bedwetting, feel more confident and give them the independance to do things other children do at their age like going to sleepovers and on school trips.
As they are so discreet and easy to use they help your child maintain their sense of privacy and self-esteem until they grow out of it.
Does wearing DryNites® prolong the bedwetting problem?
Some Mums question whether DryNites® can prolong the bedwetting problem. There is no evidence to support this and there are in fact plenty of great reasons why DryNites® can be an ideal aid to the problem of bedwetting. Wearing DryNites® can ensure that both parents and children get a good night's sleep and it's also a great confidence builder for children who are dealing with bedwetting as it allows them to regain some control and responsibility over a problem that can otherwise spiral out of control.
Where can I buy DryNites®?
DryNites® products can be found in most supermarkets and chemists. They are usually in the same aisle as disposable nappies.
Which DryNites® style is best for my child?
DryNites® come in either an underwear style or a shorts style so your child can choose which they prefer. Both offer the same reassuring protection against leaks and comfortable fit.
DryNites® Pyjama Pants are designed to be worn under nightwear and are printed with girl and boy designs chosen by kids to make them look like normal underwear. Or for boys there's DryNites® Sleep Shorts, designed to look like shorts style sleepwear.
Should my child wear underwear with DryNites®?
Because they are so discreet and designed to look like real underwear most children wear DryNites® without underwear, but underwear can be worn over them if this is preferred. If your child likes to wear boxers, they may want to wear them over their DryNites® Pyjama Pants, or try DryNites® Sleep Shorts instead.
What are DryNites® made of?
Both DryNites® Pyjama Pants and Sleep Shorts have a soft moisture-proof outer cover and contain a thin absorbent pad which draws wetness in, away from the skin. They also have leak-guards for all-night protection.

Will DryNites® work with enuresis medications?
If your child's doctor has prescribed medication for bedwetting you may want to use DryNites® to provide reassurance while the dosage is being adjusting to fit your child's needs. When the doctor begins to take your child off medication, DryNites® are a good backup until success is reached.
